A’s get Brandon Allen, Jordan Norberto for Brad Ziegler

A quick note here from The Chronicle Sports Desk, while Susan Slusser talks with Melvin, Ziegler in the clubhouse. She’ll offer much more on the blog here in a short bit.

The A’s have traded reliever Brad Ziegler to the Diamondbacks for two esteemed prospects — 1B Brandon Allen and LHP Jordan Norberto. From Slusser’s tweets during an interview with Melvin, it sounds like Norberto could be coming soon to the A’s bullpen, with Allen headed to Sacramento and in line for a September callup.
